FBA

This week, I enjoyed the activity we did with the Functional Behavior Assessment. Seeing as I will be a Special Education Teacher, I will need to understand how they work. I also just found them interesting because it means the regular education has to be more involved, whereas often times, they find out a student needs special assistance and they turn them over to the special education teacher and stay out of the way. I also like that the FBA helps us, as teachers, pay attention to our kids and what their needs are. Before we have our own classroom, I think we have a tendency to think all students will be awesome and have no issues, which is just not the case. We need to be more aware of what our students need, and how we can help them learn, but also how we can help the class as a whole learn better.
